Using the Installation Shell Script
The installation shell script helps the setup process. The installation shell script
automates some of the tasks in configuring /etc/hosts, /etc/printcap; creating
the spool directory for BSD UNIX; and running the “lpadmin” command for
System V UNIX.
Preparation
The installation shell script can be used on the following workstations (it can-
not be used with other types of workstations):
• SunOS 4.x.x, 5.x
• Solaris 2.x, 7, 8
• HP-UX 8.x, 9.x, 10.x, 11.x
• Redhat Linux 5.2, 6.x, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2
• UnixWare 7.1.1
• OpenServer 5.06
Depending on security settings made at installation, the “rsh”/“rcp”/“tel-
net” commands may not be usable with Red Hat 7.1 or later versions. Change
the security level to allow use of “rsh”/“rcp”/“telnet”. For more information
about how to change the setting, see the operating instructions for Red Hat.
When you use NIS (Network Information Service) or DNS, you should con-
figure the server before running the installation shell script.
For more information about the configuration utility of your operating sys-
tem, see the manual that comes with that utility.
Assigning the IP Address
Preparation
Configure the machine to use TCP/IP.
• Make sure that TCP/IP on the machine is set to active. (The default is ac-
tive.)
• Assign an IP address to the machine and configure the other settings re-
quired for TCP/IP.
Reference
For more information about how to make the above settings, see Network
Guide.
Checking the IP address configuration
Follow the procedure below to make sure that the IP address is configured cor-
rectly.
• The following procedure uses the sample IP address: 192.168.15.16.
